Nothing Succeeds Like Success.

In 1878. when the oranges throughout the
parish were dying out, a few members of
few dollars i'll Il cooperative store. which
they accordingly did. AT that time, there
was about $50 i'll the treasury. accumu-
Lated FROM G., regular dies Psid, which had
ded $50, subscribed by stockholders, max
ing the capital stock, III all, only $55.
The association or company was led the
"Kyiche Cooperative. Association" under
which name, with their small capital
stock, they purchased on June 10Th, 1873, u
small stock of goods and left them with
mr.. =. t. Gresham to dispose of. Having
no room at the time prepared for tho
reception of these goods, Mr.. Gresham put
theu i'll 4 small bedroom, which constit-
ntcd his entire salesroom, counting house,
warehouse. etc, but afterwards moved il
To small room, eight feet square, which
no formerly used as Il miik-hou>e. The
business now warranted change, II larger
house, 15X2O feet, was instructed which
was used up to about ptenber LIST, 1886.
The first years business of this new cor
poration, amounted to only about $3.50,
but by faith and energy on the part OF its
manager, Mr.. L. Il. Grsshann, who has al
ways been at its head, the business actually
transacted during the year of 1856, was
abou $500, cash. The old house built i'll
1878, being too small for their business u
now house size 20X3O was built, in Septem-
ber, 1856, and is now used il dry goods
store, while the other is used ~ IL ware
house. The capital stock is now $500 and
if nothing happens, the trade will amount
to near SlD,ODD for the present year.
This shows what co operation and energy
will do, when the proper ways are pursued
